When we shop online, the offer of free shipping can often lead us to overspend and exceed our budget. Surprisingly, opting for free shipping coupons can sometimes tempt us to make unneeded purchases. In such cases, it might be smarter to pay for the shipping to resist buying items we do not need.
 
It's true that the allure of free shipping can sometimes lead us to overspend or make unnecessary purchases. In these situations, it may be wiser to pay for shipping to help resist the temptation to buy items we don't truly need. By being mindful of our spending habits and prioritizing our budget, we can make more informed decisions when shopping online.

Yes, having free shipping coupons can often lead us to buy things we do not really need. It might be wiser to pay for shipping to prevent unnecessary spending. Hehehe

Yes, because a lot of times free shipping comes with a condition of buying to a certain amount. So you might just spend money on unnecessary things just to get the free shipping which doesn't make sense

True that, there may be a minimum spend required to qualify for free shipping, typically set at $30 or more.

I agree. Don't be tempted by the offer of free shipping. Just buy what you need.

Yes. The free shipping option can be tempting which makes us spend money on things we do not really need.

Online sellers are liars. They announced free shipping but when the order arrived, much to my surprise, there's additional figure added to the first price.

Seriously? They are trying to trick people. Some online sellers do that to boost their sales. They claim... free shipping but when you receive the item, you must pay for the shipping fee.

Those who offer free shipping add shipping cost on the selling price.

You are right. They make it seem like they are giving free shipping, but in reality, they just hide the cost by adding it to the item's price. LOL

I no longer trust some online sellers like Lazada. The merchant said free delivery. I ordered a 3 fold umbrella that buy one take 3 but when the parcel arrived, it contents only 1 umbrella and but 3 folds.

I am quite hesitant to use the blue app. I usually use the orange app since I find it more reliable. And, some sellers really deceive people.
